ENGLISH 8

TODAY’S GIFT: An extension on your women’s novel project. Many of you are not ready. My hope is to get a great essay and some comprehensive, intelligent responses. With that in mind, you have until Monday to turn in all your work. There will be absolutely no excuses for not turning it in on Monday, complete, including having it typed and stapled ahead of time. Your gift to me is a great essay. 

You will still have to work on other assignments along with the final women’s novel project. Consider this your last quarter late pass.

HW: Mon: Women’s Novel project & essay & self-evaluation due. Absolutely no excuses. If the volcano erupts outside your house and wrecks your printer, make sure you go to a friend's house and get it printed. (Oh yeah, and get a picture of the volcano.)

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
